Question

The entropy of a reversible, adiabatic expansion of an idea
gas is zero. Given there is an increase in volume, which increases possible
microstates, how can there be no increase in entropy?

The entropy of a reversible, adiabatic expansion of an idea gas is zero. 
Given there is an increase in volume, which increases possible 
microstates, how can there be no increase in entropy? 
Answer: 
Entropy is the measure of disorder of a system.  Mathematically, change in 
entropy of a process dS= dq/T.
